If
you're looking for something sweet in New England, here are some
terrific chocolate-oriented destinations, bakeries and sugar-related
tours in New England that
should satisfy your sweet tooth:

Mike's
Pastry Shop
in the Italian-flavored North End neighborhood of Boston, MA,
always brings in the crowds with its Italian-American bakery
selections featuring traditional Italian pastries, biscotti, cakes, cookies,
pies, torrone, gelati, marzipan and more! Everything is
hand-made; you can really taste the difference in the quality of baked
goods here. I do recommend the aforementioned torrone,
comprised of nutty, brittle crunchy and tough-textured chewy stuff from
a variety of nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, candied fruit, lemon rind,
honey, egg whites, water and sugar.

The Gingerbread Construction Company
in Winchester and Wakefield specializes in yummy gingerbread cookies,
but we like the muffins that are dominated by the top part (where all
the good stuff is), probably about 70 percent of the muffin. Out of the
19 varieties of muffins, we particularly like the "Chocolate Dreme,"
which is injected with a chocolate cream into a moist chocolate muffin!
